"Allegedly a 14-year-old girl, who looks to be about 60, and I say that with concern and love," Anderson said of Lindsay's younger sister.

"She allegedly wants to be a singer and or actor-slash-performer of some sort ... striptease person, I don't even know."

Ali's mother, Dina Lohan, fired back at the CNN newsman, telling OK! Magazine, "People are just cruel! This is bad karma for him."

Rather than letting this fizzle out and moving on to something important, Anderson Cooper kept the war of words going on his show, AC360:

"Let me just reiterate, I feel bad for the 14-year-old daughter. She seems like a nice person, but she should be a kid, not in a [reality show]," he said.

That's when Ali Lohan's father, and Dina's ex, Michael Lohan, came to the teenager's defense, sounding off to Access Hollywood about the anchor:

"I think Anderson Cooper is an opinionated, hypocritical idiot who should be an adult and keep his opinion to himself. He is the last person to judge anyone, when he and his own family have their own issues."

Snap! Seems like AC is just calling it like he sees it - but did he go too far?

Follow Dina Lohan?

Anderson is too good to even have his name mentioned in the same breath as the "train wrecked" Lohan's. Maybe he did go a tad too far in even mentioning this money grumbing, annoying, spoiled and thieving family, but nothings he said wasn't the truth.

You know, someone should remind the Lohans that when you put your family out there and advertise your quasi-talented 16 year old on national television, people are going to form opinions and talk about it- both good and bad. If they can't take the heat, they need to get the hell out of the proverbial kitchen.
